Bath re-enamelling in Silverstone

Bath re-enamelling in Silverstone, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Silverstone

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Silverstone?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
